Training Program for Oil India Executives at National Law University

 A Three-day Training Programme for Executives of Oil India commenced in the

online mode at National Law University and Judicial Academy Assam on 21

December 2021. The programme was initiated with brief inaugural session by

Ms. Arati Das, General Manager (HR) of Oil India.

The Chief Guest Hon’ble Mr. Justice Soumitra Saikia while emphasising the

need for such training programs, placed on record his appreciation for

initiatives taken by the University to conduct a capacity-building event on

mines-related laws; something least explored by the legal profession. Lordship

stated that mining is a sovereign function, and the mining activities must be

undertaken with utmost care as the officials of company may be held

criminally liable for any lapse or negligence.

Vice-Chancellor Prof. V. K. Ahuja explained vulnerability out of mining activities

for those engaged in the activities and those around as local residents. Prof.

Ahuja stated the need of compliance to statutory security standards and legal

parameters. The session ended with a vote of thanks by Registrar Dr.

Indranoshee Das, followed by the technical sessions.
